anderbytes 139 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Hi. Today when some device is connected to the internal network, it can access Emby media server as if was the "Default User" chosen in DLNA > SETTINGS , if the device doesn't have a matching custom profile. Inside that combo box, it lists all Emby users, but it lacks the option to "No access" in this combo, because I want to restrict DLNA access only to already authorized devices. I don't want guests at my home being able to watch my media without my consentiment. Edited July 24, 2016 by anderbytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_al 5 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hello, Why don't you create a user "NoAccess" that has access to no media (and that is the default one?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderbytes 139 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hello, Why don't you create a user "NoAccess" that has access to no media (and that is the default one?) I thought of that but this would be a very non-elegant solution for the problem, and because it´s one more users to appears in any listings (for no reason), and maybe be source of some future problems. I know that would work, but it's not the correct way of denying guests access to DLNA, u understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderbytes 139 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 @@Luke, you had no opinion about this last year at the time. Should I consider it a negative response or you just haven't seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 You can already achieve the same thing by manually restricting device access for users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderbytes 139 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Not for DLNA. I can just plug in any device on my network and browser the server on the "default user" as I wish. This is bad with guests in my network. Edited May 25, 2017 by anderbytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
